Dodge vehicles are primarily manufactured in the United States, with a key production hub in Michigan. However, the specific factory depends on the model. Following significant shifts in production strategy by its parent company, Stellantis, most Dodge cars are now built at the Mack Avenue Engine Complex in Detroit, while the popular Dodge Durango SUV is assembled in Michigan.
The heart of Dodge's current passenger car production is the Mack Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan. This facility is responsible for building the iconic Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger. With the transition to electric vehicles, it has been retooled and will produce the next generation of muscle cars.
For SUVs, the Jefferson North Assembly Plant, also in Detroit, has been the historic home of the Dodge Durango and its platform-mate, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's important to note that production locations can change. For instance, the Durango's production was consolidated.
Historically, Dodge vehicles were also assembled in Canada (Brampton, Ontario) and other international locations. The Brampton plant previously built the Challenger and Charger before production was moved to Mack Avenue as part of Stellantis's broader manufacturing realignment.

When considering a Dodge, checking the vehicle identification number (VIN) is the most reliable way to confirm its specific origin. The first character of the VIN indicates the country of manufacture (e.g., '1' or '4' for the USA, '2' for Canada, '3' for Mexico).
